In the brain we are sure that we do not know how to localize functions; in the spinal cord, we think we do know something; but there are so many anomalies, and seeming contradictions, and sources of fallacy, that beyond the facts of crossed paralysis of sensation, and the conducting agency of the gray substance, I am afraid we retain no cardinal principles discovered since the development of the reflex function took its place by Sir Charles Bell's great discovery.
It has been shown that the gray matter of the brain and spinal marrow furnishes the stimulating power that moves the muscles, and causes sensations of touch on the skin, and the other sensations of the several senses. The white part of the brain and spinal marrow consists solely of conducting tubes to transmit this influence.
From the emphasis he placed on his words, the surgeon saw he was thinking of a case of spinal injury to a seaman some months before, which had proved mortal after many days' suffering; yet it would seem that, despite the conviction that rested on his mind, the love of life, and of all it meant to him, yet clung to the hope that possibly there might be a reprieve.
This inflammation should not be allowed to continue, as it may become serious, even extending to the peritoneum and producing peritonitis. The nerves of the uterus are very closely connected with the spinal nerves, therefore, any displacement reacts through them and may produce headache and backache, which are the common accompaniments of any uterine disorder.
"No feather-bed?" in amazement. "No pie?" Ann's voice was a sorrowful whisper. "You see," Callandar explained, "I am here partly for my health. My health cannot lie on feather-beds nor eat pie well, perhaps," with a glance at Ann, "an occasional pie may do no harm. But I shall send down some springs and a mattress.

I don't care anything about his initials. I can't call him by his initials. What do they stand for?" "Well, you see, his father was a physician, and he he well he was an idolater of his profession, and he well, he was a very eccentric man, and " "What do they stand for! What are you shuffling about?" "They well they stand for Spinal Meningitis. His father being a phy "
This quality of "the stroke," by the by, if we stop to analyze for a moment, is the stroke that comes straight from the heart, tingling up the spinal column, down the arm, and straight to the finger-tips. It is only under this pressure of enthusiasm that the best work is produced.
In most cases, the existing spinal lesions are themselves the result of other primary disease conditions which must be removed before the bony lesions will remain corrected. The mode of treatment depends upon the object that is to be accomplished.
After noting its general character while fresh, put it to soak in dilute alcohol, until it is sufficiently hard to be cut in sections. The Spinal Nerves. From the gray matter on each side of the spinal cord 31 spinal nerves are given off and distributed chiefly to the muscles and the skin. They pass out at regular intervals on each side of the canal, by small openings between the vertebræ.
But it had been no invention of his mother's, it seemed; for there, in Ashbjörn's bag, lay one of the tiny folk. There was a little of the terror natural to childhood left in Clement, and he felt a shudder run down his spinal column as he peeped into the bag. Ashbjörn saw that he was frightened and began to laugh; but Clement took the matter seriously.
